Go go medicine

The last time I saw dr W. was for my eyes a couple of weeks ago. While I was there I also mentioned my incontinence and fatigue reaching a low point. He gave me something for the fatigue and it has helped greatly. The stuff I was on before is still have to have coffee with it to make it through the day and that was just not cutting it. So I’m glad I’ve switched. I haven’t had any caffeine since starting it and I’ve even been able to get up and do my Bible study in the morning. It’s still hard to wake up but once I get going I’m good until around 8-9 pm. I probably start lagging around 5, but don’t notice it as much with dinner and bedtime routines happening. So glad I switched. 

Macular Edema

Post dated: December 20, 2017

So I have macular edema. It started about a week ago. I noticed it at the last day of bsf for the semester (December 12, 2017) that there was a spot in the middle of my vision field in both eyes that was gray and blurred out. I tried to wait it out, which I regret now, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Got an appointment at the eye doctor yesterday and he said everything looked fine. But obviously my vision was impaired. So he suggested it be neurological and I see dr W. So I did... today.he looked at my eyes. Had me do a vision test on a screen looking at what must have been a dot or square then looked in my eyes and said That I had macular edema due to the gylenia. Great. So now I have three months to rethink my plan of attack for MS. I’ve stopped taking it right away but now it’s back to the drawing board. I really don’t want to do shots again. So there are two other pills out there that might work for me. I just have to learn more about them. If y’all have any info about the pills for relapsing remitting MS please let me know!  
On a good note I did get something to help me stay awake during the day. So there’s that.
